As there is more chance of Scotland wining the world cup than Haynes producing a manual for a V8 E60, I found http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-SERVICE-REPAIR-MANUAL-CD-5-SERIES-E34-E39-E53-E60_W0QQitemZ220156084220QQihZ012QQcategoryZ18409QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - this on Ebay.

Has anyone seen this before?

Do you think it is worth a punt at only £0.99.  P and P is £3.50.

Its 99p...... has to be worth a punt....

Lovely car by the way.

mine works fine on Vista Business, but it may be an older version than yours:

downloading the 2006 TIS and ETK at the moment, i'll let you know if it works on Vista

part of the "KFZ Programme" torrent archive; contains VAG and BMW TIS/ETK DVDs, as well as something called "autodata" which, according to their site ( http://www.autodata.ltd.uk/ - http://www.autodata.ltd.uk/ ), is technical info for various makes and models

just untick the ones you don't want when the torrent opens, i know someone who'd like a copy if the VAG discs cover Seat so i'm downloading that as well

it's a relatively large download (10.2gb) and it's painfully slow due to lack of seeders, but persevere with it, i'm sure someone will come along to seed shortly

don't speak rubbish!  win95 wasn't very reliable once you scratched beneath the surface, it's only saving grace was the speed at which you could format and reinstall - i had it down to 30 mins for a complete format and reinstall from scratch with drivers

god even the product key is seared into my memory, the devil is in the repetition...

13995-oem-0000833....13995-oem000833.....oh god make it stop.....  

and don't even get me started on nt4!!  wtf use is not having a device manager?!?

like Killian, i have to keep up to date with stuff with my job, niether vista business nor office 2007 enterprise is on here through choice, its from the ms select partner programme

i've had a quite a few teething troubles with it even after it went final release, with program and hardware compatibility issues - surprising stuff like hp network printers suddenly stop working at random - print spooler says its working but will it print?  will it hell!

on saturday i completely buggered up my wireless card by uninstalling a so-called compatible version of vmware workstation, even after running a vmware cleaner it refused to work - lots of hidden files still left over and tieing up my card, it would show it had connected, but with limited connectivity, ergo no router access so no lan access, which was odd

so many gremlins, and so many changes - UAC is a PITA!  why change names of things for the sake of it "add remove programs" is now "programs and features".  makes it a b****rd to resolve problems over the phone

thats why i dont recommend businesses to move to vista until at least its SP1 comes out early next year

enough ranting, at least it keeps me in a job

indeed, let's have a button on the start menu that looks like the universal symbol for turn off and make it actually just save the power a little bit!

when i say off i mean OFF, i don't want to have to go to another bloody menu to select it!! (i do know how to change the button but it should be like that by default, no changes necessary!)

i used an ibook a couple of days ago, i can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times ive used macs in my life....

....and i still don't like 'em!
